If the IS-F is going against the M3, I guess the next logical step is for the GS-F to go against the M5 .

No F emblems on the SUV's please.

GS-F
LS-F
SC-F

And eventually, I would like to see all models with a F model.

I would really Like Lexus to do what Audi does, offer S and RS models.

But "h" and "F" models of each car. That would be superb.

2nd and 3rd choice? the poll only allows to select one.

my 2nd was the GS-F which I selected. My 3rd would be the SC-F. These two models are the most 'sporty' in line up after the IS. I don't see a reason to have the F for the rest of the lineup especially the LS.... IMHO, LS-F is not a good idea. Making the LS sporty would kill the brand for what a Lexus stands for.

I voted GS-F. Natural bias.

My second pick would be the SC, a year after the next redesign. That seems to be the industry trend. I would imagine the GS-F power-plant could be carried over.

Next... LS-F. V12 style. I like to dream.

After that... fast SUVs and FWD sedans don't really excite me. If the ES was AWD I would be more gung-ho. The RX could work and would address a market segment, but doesn't feed to my taste.

LS-F to me is the LS600h. If they do make an LS-F probably wont be for the next 3 years lol just use the LF-A engine and add some electric motors *drools* be like almost 600hp

I'm probably for the GS-F seeing it can compete against BMW M5 and Audi RS6, hopefully both if and when it does come out.

Now to turn the LS into a two-door coupe. It be a boat lol atleast it be the same size as the CL pretty much.

Isn't the SC-F the LF-A?

At least that's what I'm hoping for...

Not necessarily, they can have 2 different models. SC-F would be like a SL55 amg, a big heavy but fast luxurious sports coupe/convertible, which is different from what the LF-A is supposed to be.

True.

So, SL55 AMG or McClaren?
